"A political manifesto, a fairy tale about the history of Italy over the last fifty years, a song." (Alice Rohrwacher)

In a remote Italian village lives the young Lazzaro, whose boundless goodness is exploited by everyone. When he wins the friendship of the noble Tancredi, a poetic parable about exploitation, solidarity and humanity unfolds.
LAZZARO FELICE combines social realism and the fairytale in a Fellinesque way. The film won the prize for best screenplay in Cannes in 2018.
Followed by a discussion with members of the Compagnia Dromosofista on Alice Rohrwacher's cinematic world.
